Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been ruled out of Wednesday's friendly with England in Dortmund with a calf injury.

Neuer, widely regarded as the world's leading 'keeper, will miss the meeting with Gareth Southgate's side as well as the World Cup qualifier away to Azerbaijan on Sunday.

The 30-year-old will instead remain with his club Bayern Munich.

Germany boss Joachim Low has called up uncapped Paris St Germain shot-stopper Kevin Trapp as a replacement for Neuer.

He joins Bayer Leverkusen's Bernd Leno and Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the squad.
